About our program

Working to develop a regional initiative called Dehcho K'ehodi Stewardship Program which will have a Guardian component. Our communities, leaders and elders have told us that conservation from the Dene perspective will follow three principles -

Dene language revitalization,
youth/elder mentorship, and
honouring the Dene laws - these will form the foundation of our stewardship programs.

Moving forward our goal is to support community-led stewardship activities and develop a regional network.
